Two months ago, his Monmouth Avenue home was damaged by a bedroom fire. Four pit bull puppies and the father of the litter died in the April 30 fire.

Duncan’s son had to jump from a window to safety. Although the house will be rebuilt, Duncan did not have renter’s insurance and does not plan to return to the home where he lived with his children.

Two years ago Wednesday, Duncan lost his daughter, Amber Duncan-Wilson, after she was robbed and fatally shot while walking with a friend on Hussa Street. The July 9, 2012, homicide occurred just a few weeks after her graduation from Linden High School.

No one has been arrested or charged in connection with Amber Duncan-Wilson’s death.

“They’re working on it,” Duncan said is what Linden police have told him when he inquired about the homicide investigation as recently as last week. “I just have to wait on law enforcement.”

Linden Detective Travis Koziol confirmed that the case is being actively investigated. A spokesman for the Union County Prosecutor’s Office said there is no new information to be released.

A reward of up to $5,000 cash for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the person responsible for the homicide of Duncan-Wilson continues to be offered by Union County Crime Stoppers.

Councilman Derek Armstead said he hopes police can find out who committed the crime and bring the person to justice. Armstead, whose daughter was friends with Duncan-Wilson, said he finds it peculiar that no one has come forward with any information that leads to solving the homicide.

Amber Duncan-Wilson, 18, was a popular member of the Linden High School cheerleading and dance teams. Following her death, community members conducted a candlelight vigil in her honor. Linden High School football players and cheerleaders turned out for her funeral, along with political and civic leaders, friends and family to pack the church. At the Linden High School dance studio, a butterfly was painted on a wall in her memory.

She had planned to attend college. Duncan-Wilson had received a partial college scholarship to study criminal justice with the hopes of becoming a police officer. Duncan-Wilson had attended a State Police Academy summer program in Sea Girt.

Norman Duncan, law-enforcement and community leaders have said they believe there are people in the community who have information that can help solve the case, Linden’s only homicide in 2012.

Duncan-Wilson and her friend were walking on Hussa Street from the Dunkin’ Donuts on Wood Avenue just before midnight on July 9, 2012. Officials have said words were exchanged with someone whom the two friends encountered. Duncan-Wilson was robbed before being shot in the head. She was found dead at the scene. Police have said she might have recognized the shooter.

Duncan-Wilson’s friend, who has not been identified, is a potential witness. Police have said there might have been more than one person involved in the robbery. Police have said they know there are other people who know who the shooter is, as well as the person with the shooter.

The friend’s cellphone was found in Rahway near the river, across from 401 River Road, about five hours after the homicide. Police said it appeared as if someone tried to throw it in the river but missed.

Norman Duncan has said he was always proud of his daughter. Last year, he displayed two large boards decorated with his daughter’s middle and high school diplomas, certificate from the State Police Academy, ribbons and awards from cheerleading for Pop Warner, the St. Elizabeth Storm and Linden High School, where she was co-captain in her senior year, varsity letters and other awards.

Duncan, who now is living with relatives in Passaic, did not say whether those mementos from his daughter’s life were damaged in the fire.
